I just wanted to be in show business. I didn't care if I was going to be an actor or a magician or what. Comedy was a point of the least resistance, really. And on the simplest level, I loved comedy.
From Steve Martin
Theories, for me, are just about freeing your mind. It doesn't mean the theory is going to work like a scientific theory works. It's about freeing your mind and making you think a different way.
Most comedies are really hard to write, or to watch, because you kind of generally know what's coming.
I love technology, and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it, and it always has been.
L.A. is only where you live, because otherwise it's just a sprawling mass of everything, and I think if you live in L.A., you get a little network of places you go, and people you see, and when you leave town, you do miss those places and your friends.
I don't like to look back, and I'm always worried about the next thing rather than resting on the laurels or the degradations of the last thing.
When I finally retire, I just want to go away so no one has to listen to me.
I never thought much about success early on. I only thought about being a comedian - or just being in show business, is really more accurate.
